Install a shut-off valve. Securely tighten all gas connections. If connected to LP, have a qualified person make sure gas pressure does not exceed the maximum pressure listed in the "Gas Supply Requirement" section.
This appliance shall be installed only by authorized persons and in accordance with the manufacturer's installation instructions, local gas fitting regulations, municipal building codes, electrical wiring regulations, local water supply regulations. This range is factory-set for use with Natural gas. To use this range with Propane gas, see the "GAS CONVERSION section before connecting this range to the gas supply.
TYPICAL RIGID PIPE CONNECTION A combination of pipe fittings must be used to connect the range to the existing gas line. Your connections may be different, according to the supply line type, size and location. 1. Apply pipe-joint compound made for use with LP gas to all pipe thread connections. 2. Using a pipe wrench to tighten, connect the gas supply to the range.
COMPLETE CONNECTION WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard Disconnect power before servicing. Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet. Do not use an adapter or an extension cord. Failure to do so can result in death, fire, or electrical shock 1. Open the manual shutoff valve in the gas supply line. The valve is open when the handle is parallel to the gas pipe. 2. Test all connections by brushing on an approved noncorrosive leakdetection solution. If bubbles appear, a leak is indicated. Correct any leak found. 3.
Note: Align notches in burner caps with pins in burner base. Burner caps should be level when properly positioned. If burner caps are not properly positioned, surface burners will not light. Cap Incorrectly Positioned Base Auxiliary Burner Semi Rapid Burner Rapid Burner Correctly Positioned Triple Ring Burner 4. Place burner grates over burners and caps. 5. Plug in range or reconnect power. ADJUST FLAME HEIGHT Check and adjust the height of top burner flames.
The flame can be adjusted using the adjustment screw in the center of the valve stem. The valve stem is located directly behind the control knob. 1. Light the burner and turn the knob to the lowest setting (MIN). 2. Pull and remove the control knob. 3. Insert a small, flat-blade screwdriver into the adjustment screw, and slowly turn the screw until the flame appearance is correct. • Open the valve more if the flames are too small or fluttered. • Close the valve more if the flames are too large.
LEVEL RANGE IMPORTANT: Do not operate the range if its rear foot is not completely engaged in the anti-tip bracket. Never completely remove the leveling legs or the range will not be secured to the anti-tip device properly. 1. Slide range into final location, making sure rear leveling leg slides into the anti- tip bracket. Leave a 1" (2.5 cm) gap between the back of the range and the back wall. 2. Check that the range is level by placing a level on the oven bottom.
2. Slowly attempt to tilt the range forward. • If you encounter immediate resistance, the range foot is engaged in the anti-tip bracket. Range installation is completed. • If the rear of the range lifts more than 1/2" (1.3 cm) off the floor without resistance, stop tilting the range and lower it gently back to the floor. The range foot is not engaged in the anti-tip bracket. Proceed to Steps 3 and 4.
GAS CONVERSION WARNING Explosion Hazard Use a new CSA International approved gas supply line and install a shutoff valve for new installations. Securely tighten all gas connections. If connected to LP, have a qualified person make sure gas pressure does not exceed the maximum pressure listed in the "Gas Supply Requirement" section.
LP/PROPANE GAS CONVERSION IMPORTANT: Gas conversions must be done by a qualified service technician in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and all codes and requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. The qualified agency performing this work assumes the gas conversion responsibility. Convert Gas Pressure Regulator 1. Turn manual shutoff valve to the closed position. 2. Unplug range or disconnect power. 3. Locate the gas pressure regulator on the back of the range.
6. Turn the retainer pin upside down and place it back into the regular cap. The regular cap is now positioned for use with LP gas. Propane gas position 7. Screw and tighten the regulator cap back into the gas pressure regulator with the wrench. Regulator Cap Convert Surface Burners 1. If installed, remove the burner grates. 2. Remove the burner grates, burner caps, and the burner base. 3. Remove the natural gas orifices with a 9/32" (7 mm) nut driver.
